Check It Out?

October 21, 1985

The Hug Center, mentioned earlier in CFB Report as an idea whose time has come, is ready. The center is inviting parents, physicians and other interested citizens to check out the facilities at 1200 W. Fairbanks on Oct. 24. What is it? A place for extended pediatric care where parents can leave their medically dependent children and go to work with the secure feeling that all their needs will be met -- including a hug. Marge Brennan, creator and director of the Hug Center, said the idea has been embraced by both parents and doctors.
